LinkedIn Opens New Experience Center in London

Are you ready to take your LinkedIn experience to the next level?

You’re in luck, because this week, LinkedIn has opened its first-ever IRL experience center in London, which LinkedIn describes as “an innovative space that will bring together customers, social impact organizations, and industry experts across hiring, B2B sales and marketing.”

The new center aims to provide a centralized space for professional interactions and events, which will invariably be tied back to LinkedIn:

“As businesses rethink the role of in-person interactions, LinkedIn is investing in a space that brings employees, customers and members together, through hands-on experiences that deliver enhanced value. The Center will provide access to ideas, product insights, curated editorial content and specialized knowledge that supports LinkedIn customers’ industry and economic growth.”

The design of the space is supposed to foster enhanced collaboration and engagement, “through the power of connecting in-person and the intrinsic value of shared experience.”

Sounds like a brochure for a new-age wellness center, not a communal office space. But that, seemingly, is what it is, a central home for LinkedIn originated events, and for professionals to connect IRL.

Also, as with all things LinkedIn in 2025, it will be focused on AI:

“LinkedIn’s inaugural Work Change Report, launched in January 2025, shone a light on the rapidly changing hiring and business landscape that many of its customers and members are navigating. Advances in technology – driven by AI – are a huge factor in this, and a key goal of the Experience Center will be to bring these conversations to life, providing AI workshops and access to experts to help people and organizations get ahead of this evolution in how we work.”

So if you’re in London, you can now do LinkedIn in physical form, which either sounds interesting or horrendous, depending on your personal platform experience and personality type.
